After the postponement of this weekend's English football calendar, Manchester United moved quickly to initiate discussions over their trip to Moldova next week, with Friday night bringing confirmation the Europa League group game will go ahead.
Football is an outlier as far as sport is concerned this weekend, with the programme having been pulled as a mark of respect following the death of Queen Elizabeth II. United had been due to travel to London to face Crystal Palace on Sunday.
They will now have a free weekend before embarking on the lengthy trip to Chisinau next week and a game against Sheriff Tiraspol that has taken on extra importance after the opening week of Europa League fixtures.
